22-01-2020...
It's dark and I'm on my balcony in Abtenau. The sky is clear and I can count the stars. That promises to be a beautiful day tomorrow. There is a lot of activity on the slopes. A new one is being built, so there are several snow cannons to blow. Men on big and small snow sliding machines go up and down, back and forth, but just what you want, on the mountain. I enjoy the activity. Men with lights on their heads and some with dogs walk with skis down, up the mountain. At some point, they disappear between the trees. Tomorrow when I take the cable car up, see what's there to do in those bushes...
The weather is beautiful when I get up, but I don't feel fully fit and decide to stay in the hotel for another day and to confess to the surroundings. Starting in the center. Well, um, more village core... barely a center. Along the main road I find shops. A clothing store or 3, jeweler, a shop with handmade ceramics, jewelry and more beautiful but closed, and of course a sports shop. Which, incidentally, is built up in many villages in Austria. They are closed, because between 12:00 and 15:00 it is siesta. Don't ask me why. I can imagine something about the warm countries, but not Austria. As well as wandering through Abtenau and surroundings, to end up in my bed at the end of the afternoon, hoping I'll be fresh the next day.
At 19.00 I am somewhat refurbished next to my bed and head towards the dining room. You can hardly call it a restaurant, because as already mentioned, it is not a cozy hotel.
I dive on the delicious vegetable dish and patatas and in the meantime I struggle to upload the files or download them between my phone and tablet.... Yes, this day has started to shine the light on the photos in dropbox and export, so I can blog with photos.
